It's really too bad that we didn't get to see much of Paolo playing LB last year.
I really like his attitude, and he could turn out to be a solid player, but at this point in time he hasn't proven himself at LB - as of yet he isn't a particularly good defender, and I really think he should be playing further up the field.
I don't like him much as the LM in the Azzurrini's 4-3-3... and the more I watch him play, the less confident I am that he's going to fit into our team next year.
Santacroce on the other hand would seem to fill an immediate need, and I think his value might be a little lower than it should be atm, in part because of that drunk driving issue - I'm sure it throws a strike against his character in some people's minds.
So what do people think? Should our directors be pushing for some sort of player exchange? How close are the values of these two players?
Because we currently have some decent options in midfield, I think we should make a move now and try to snag Santa's crotch. It does give us a potential pairing of two rash CB's, and they might not compliment each other very well yet, but it could lead to a very strong spine in the future... I think this move would be worth the risk. Thoughts, anyone?
